Johns Creek GA Cooling and Heating

The national average for central air conditioning repair is between $50 and $100 for a service charge and $300 for both labor and parts. For required services, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) providers typically charge fixed prices. Your costs will be determined by whether the technician has to replace components or add refrigerant, the distance between you and the HVAC company, and the season (rates tend to be higher in the summer). As a rule, the older the unit, the more expensive a repair is likely to be.

Central air conditioners generally have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years. A central cooling unit's lifespan may be lowered if its capacity is not adequately matched to the cooling load of the residence. Oversized air conditioners "short-cycle," rapidly switching on and off, causing undue wear and tear on the compressor. The compressor, like the furnace heat exchanger, is the most expensive component in the system. A worn-out compressor in an out-of-warranty unit is frequently a compromise that necessitates upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient air conditioner rather than fixing the present one.

If your air conditioner is not cooling when the system is turned on, you may have a clogged or obstructed condenser coil. Unfortunately, a wide range of clogging matter, including grass, mud, and other impurities, can make their way into this equipment. This can cause a major blockage and, as a result, a system breakdown.

Check the condenser and clear away any dirt to remedy the problem. This region may be cleaned by gently wiping away dirt and grime with a hose If you still are having problems with your air conditioner running but not cooling, it may be time to contact a specialist.
